don't wait for a knight in shinin' armor, your savior's reflected in the mirror

[That sure was a fucking thing. That execution was a fucking thing. Those secrets are a fucking thing.

Cabanela retreats to his room, but not for all that long. Everyone will get a note eventually, written in very neat handwriting

I do not plan on bowing down to threats and intimidation. If you did not act, it means you were, like me, aware of the risk, but decided against it. Your reasons are entirely your own.

Join me in the dining room if you agree enough is enough, and that you won't acquiesce to threats. I don't plan to let this stop me, and neither should you.

In the dining room itself, Cabanela has set up coffee and tea for those who want it-- there's no food, because to be honest, he doesn't know how to cook. Two more candles have been lit-- he wasn't really sure what to do about the whole... parasite thing... so Fern's candle will have to make due.]

Supposing we survive, of course.

[Kyrie has no doubts about her own survival, one way or another, but she knows not everyone will live -- no way she's giving her own life for someone else's sake]

[Rin's fingers ghost to her throat, tracing the fabric of the high collar that covers it.]

I'm a mage, so I know better than anyone that I can fight tooth and nail, and the chance I'll die will still exist regardless.

[She drops her hand. These words are spoken with conviction.]

If it happens, it happens, but I intend to do everything I can to survive, all the same. I like living too much to roll over and die.
